Swimming Pool Cases

Many swimming accidents that result in injury, drowning or near-drowning involve children. These cases involve backyard pools that did not have the proper safety features, namely a fence to keep children away.

An unprotected backyard swimming pool is considered an attractive nuisance. Children will undoubtedly be attracted to such things. If they are not fenced in and kept out of reach, children will try to use them. In the unsupervised use of backyard swimming pools, drowning and near-drowning can happen.

Failure to hire and train lifeguards is another reason swimmers becomes victims of injury or death due to inattentive lifeguards. Swimming pool safety must always be considered first. Improper supervision of swimming can lead to serious spinal cord injury, paralysis, quadriplegia, coma, persistent vegetative state, or death. For example, if children are invited to a pool party and then left without parental supervision, the homeowner may be held responsible for any harm that results.

Boating Accident Cases

Other drowning and near-drowning cases are the result of boating accidents. When operated by a person who is intoxicated or who is simply acting negligently, a boat may collide with a swimmer, which can result in drowning or near-drowning.

Similarly, passengers may fall out of boats that are being used improperly, people may be hit by boats while skiing or using personal watercraft.
